after finding the manual and hooking up my front panel (from earlier post "headers problem", i fired up the system, and nothing is coming into the monitor, i also have no beep. what could be the problem?

ive read somewhere else that it could be a problem from the front usb port. i havent conected this up on my board as there is no compatible port and decided to leave it in as a dummy.

thanks

You should stick with your Original post.

Life's more painless for the brainless.

Leaving the USB port headers disconnected isn't going to cause the problem and I seriously doubt that connnecting them wrong would cause it either. Most likely something happened while you were inside the case--something got disconnected or jarred loose.
